Mount Avalon

"2 semaines solo de pure plaisir à faire du hiking à différentes places dont les Whites Moutains. Pour cette série je voulais faire Avalon, Willey, Field et ensuite arriver sur Tom pour le coucher du soleil. La journée était parfait pour cela. Aucun nuage, ni rien! Et finalement, à mon arriver sur Tom, des gros nuages se sont mis de la partie. Donc je suis repartis sans avoir de photo de coucher de soleil.... Mais j'ai mes 4 sommets! :) " — fsoucy76 • Sep 27, 2018

"AH - MAZING day in the whites! No clouds...just sun and no wind either! Throw in feeding the gray jays and we were happy as pigs in slop. Got Tom, Field and Willey on the books for April." — shay-shay • Apr 23, 2018

"Nice winter day, near 30 at base of mountains. Hiked up the Avalon Trail to Avalon, then up to Mt. Field and over to Tom. Lots of packed snow on trail, mirco spikes up to Avalon and Mt. Field. From Field to Mt. Tom put on snowshoes." — blackwolf_03278 • Feb 19, 2018

"It has been a long time since I last summited Avalon. So I detoured over to do it. Forgot the precise details of the view, so it was nice to be back. From here, went back to my car." — newenglandwarrior • Nov 9, 2017

"Windy at base then beautiful hike thru the spruces. Spikes the whole way. Broke trail up the very steep last half mile. Kick,step,plant, over and over. Snow held off til back at the car!" — goshen-bagger • Jan 27, 2017

"A very wet day hiking up to hit tom, field and avalon....the snow was steaming and created quite a fog! We hit Avalon first, and didn't get any views due to the heavy clouds and then went to Field. As I hit the summit and went to the side I saw the most incredible view! The presidential all open with an undercast below...by the second the clouds were rolling in...it was amazing! We then enjoyed lunch with the gray jays!! After the most incredible lunch break we finished up the loop on foggy Tom and headed back to Crawfords. An amazing day in the clouds!" — shay-shay • Jan 22, 2017

"Picture perfect day in the Whites! Took the Avalon trail (don't skip Avalon - it's a fantastic summit) to the Willey Range Trail to the A-Z Trail (and Mt. Tom Spur Trail). This was a great way to hike these 4 peaks (instead of just an out & back)." — PJSelmer • Jul 24, 2016

"I spent my birthday with the White Mountains! WAY colder today than yesterday, though I was still THAT GUY wearing shorts today, despite much colder temperatures, some strong gusts of wind, and fresh snow on the ground! What can I say, it's just motivation to keep me moving! Beautiful sunny day to be out hiking!" — matt-beard • Nov 8, 2015

"Caught this peak on the way up to bag Mt. Field and Mt. Tom. Of the 3 mountains I saw, this one had by far the best view, with a wonderful view on the notch. Trail was in good shape with a couple muddy/puddle spots by the brook crossings. The final 0.7-ish miles to the summit were pretty much an unrelenting uphill climb.However the view was quite awesome." — HikeLikeMike • Jun 7, 2015

"Brilliant blue skies, about 5 deg on summit with occaisional stiff wind. Lots of snow on trail, pretty packed out, I used snowshoes, jungleland used spikes. Unbelievable views from summit!!" — Alohabuffy • Feb 27, 2015

"The last weekend of training for the Long Trail - did a 17 mile loop around Crawford Notch. Willey just about kicked my butt after going up Pierce, Jackson and Webster and then down to 302. Bring on the Long Trail. http://www.trimbleoutdoors.com/ViewTrip/2384520" — markst-john • Aug 17, 2013

"climbed Mt. Avalon on the way "home" after the descent from Mt. Field. This was out last Peak of the day (part of a loop that also included Mts Field & Tom). Visibility was terrible most of the day. Both Field & Tom were fogged in. When we reached Mt. Avalon, the fog THANKFULLY lifted and we were reward w/ a beautiful view out to Crawford Notch! We were a Lil' tired on the return trip from Field, and were contemplating skipping this one-- I am VERY glad we didn't as it made our entire trip! From the summit, we also caught a glimpse of the AMC's Highland Center (where our day had begun)-- The optical illusion, of how close/far an object is from the summit, never ceases to amaze me! What looked to be an entire day away from us, actually took less than an hour to reach???" — CiccheMariti • Dec 2, 2012

"We did Mt. Avalon after going to Mt. Tom and Mt. Field. We had no views from Tom or Field. Fog didn't give views more than 100'. When we got to Mt. Avalon, fog suddenly lifted and we had a fantastic view very much worth the whole trip. We could see the Highland Center Lodge where we started. It's funny how it looks a day away from the summit, but we got down in around an hour or so. " — earth2marty • Dec 2, 2012

"Twas the night before the night before Christmas. Not a creature was stirring, except for two snowshoers climbing Mt. Avalon .. http://www.flickr.com/photos/yorkie/sets/72157611715668862" — trailspotting • Dec 23, 2008
